Boxing Day

This is the day when one visits friends, goes for a drive or a long walk or just sits around recovering from too much food — everything to eat is cold. In the country there are usually Boxing Day Meets (hunts — fox-hunting).

In the big cities and towns, tradition on that day demands a visit to the pantoijiime, where once again one is entertained by the story of Cinderella, Dick Whittington, Puss in Boots or whoever it may be — the story being protracted and elaborated into as many spectacular scenes as the producer thinks one can take at a sitting.
